A COMMITTEE Of the American Bar
Association has prepared a draft of q
bill 10 regulate the relations Of credi.
tor and debtor, aud the collection of
debts In 40 far a the same are con-
cerned In interstate commerce. This
bill contains n very important pro-
vision striking at an abuse which the
diversity Of legislation In the states
has fostered. Ii provides that in case
of the bankruptcy, insolvency, failure
or suspension Of payment Of any debt
or creditors holding any claim or de-
mand against such debtor, which has
arisen in the course of transaction per-
tanning to commerce among the states
shall be entitled TO share In the pro-
ceeds of the estate and to receive pay
ment to the same extent In all re-
spects as that of which the debtor is
an inhabitsnt. any mortgage, pledge,
Judgment or other security Of proceed
ing to the contrary Notwithstanding,
except securities and transactions for
actual money or its equivalent ad-
vanced by third persons in good faith
upon property set apart and pledged
for its repayment. This provision, as
will be seen, would put all creditors
on the same level and would do away
with the undue advantage which, un.
der the present diversityiof legislation,
the local creditors have over others.
1t would also do away with a great
mass of vexations and difficult litiga-
ton such o. usually follows where
creditors from other states have claims
upon the debtors assets. -Bradstreet's

The Greeks, with few exceptions, had
no family Tor sire) names. The Romans
had three names: 1. A proper name
pranomen), the distinction of the indi-
vidual, like om baptismal or Christian
name. 2. The name Of the class (nomen).
8. The family name (cognomen). Some
times to these were added, on account OF
act of valor or event. a fourth name
(agnomen), as Publius ~(pr@nomen) Cor
nelius (the clan of Cornelius). Scipio 1.-THE
family, Africanus 1.-THE agnomen, because
of his victories in Africa). The pranomen
was generally not written in full, as NJ.

tinguish him from his brother. Quintius,
Tullius, the clan, and Cicero, the family.
In Germany and the Teutonic pations
family or Tor, as it should be
spelled, ''sirnames''--i.e., sire or fathers
name) were little used before the Four
teenth century. Every n had a baptis-
NAL name only. The most ancient method
wa to add the fathers name to their
own, as johnson, Williamson, David
son, etc. The Arabians still follow this
custom-e. g., Halls son, Yoar is called
Ebu Hall Halls SOM and Years son
would be Ebu Yoar.
The surnames given in England sbout
the time of William the Conquerer were
selected, like the agnomen OF the Ro-
mans, from some peculiar circumstance
relating to the individual. Thus the earl
of Anjou obtained the urname of Plan
tagenet from the well known story, and
his descendants were called Plantagenets.
Fitz from the old French fills, meaning
''son'), Mac (Scottish), Ap (Welsh), o.
Qrish), Ez Spanish) and Ben were all
prefixes meaning in those several Ian
guages 'son." But Ftz meant illegiti-
mate son. The German sohn, Swedish
son, Dutch son are the same. German
Won, Dutch van, French de mean ''of''
or s.from," referring to the residence or
descent. On the establishment Of the
feudal system new names were intro
duced, derived either from occupation, as
Smith, Turner, Carpenter, Fuller, etc.,
from place of nativity, as French, Welsh,
etc., or from personal complexion or
other popularity, as White Brown,

ANOTHER version of the present Ute
outbreak In Colorado, Is thus given by
one r. Sylvester, who was secretary Of
the Ute commission Of 1881. He says:
at grows out of the dissatisfaction felt
by many Utes with the settlement Of
their differences several years 'ago.
Prior to 1879. q hue and cry was raised
by the Colorado settlers against the
Utes, who then held some Of the finest
lands west Of the mountains. They
wanted the land and wanted to Gust
the Utes at any cost. They appealed
to Congress and Congress passed the
bill providing for q treaty. A commits
sion was sent out and the Utes were
given the choice of certain lands In
southern Utah, and as q bonus to in
duce them to accept the situation were
granted certain annuities. Colorow,
who, it Is alleged, is making the pres
ent disturbance, was one of the first
Utes to express dissatisfaction with
the efforts to deprive the Utes Of their
rich lands. The Utes were, however,
finally removed, driven from their
fine lands at the point of the bayonet,
and settled In Utah upon an arid des-
ert lava bed tract. Colorow insisted
all the time that he would not stay,
and returned to western Colorado
with sixty braves and their families.
He used to 20 to the agency, how
ever, when the annuities were distrib-
uted and claim his share. Since
1880, Colorow has been adding TO his
following from the dissatisfied Utes Of
the different tribes. He is o warrior
and will die fighting. Colorow took
part In the frightful Meeker massacre,
at the White river agency. His asso-
cistes were Captain Jack, who, when
aprisoner was ordered to leave his
tent, and upon refusal was blown out
Of the tent and out Of existence at the

Prevention Of Accidents.

The whole tendency of modern in
dustrial progress is in the direction of
abolshing manual labor in manufact-
ures, aud substituting for it machinery,
which is being constantly improved,
and which in the not distant future
may be expected to reach still higher
stages of protection. The result of
this change in the methods of produc-
tion, of course, necessitates the use of
considerable power, and the rapid
movements Of betting and gearing ex-
pose workmen to dangers to which in
earlier times they were not liable. In
this country the legislatures have for
q long time shown that they consid-
cred employers of labor to have duties
to perform in seeing that those in their
pay should run no unnecessary risks.
In France, however, no attempt was
made to deal with this matter until
1874, when inspectors were appointed
with power to order changes in factor
les, with view 10 the protection of
children. This, however, was found
insufficient, and in 1884 a law Was
passed making the employer response
Bile for accidents, except in cases where
be could prove that they were due to
carelessness on the part of the work
man. In addition to this, to provide
for that class of risk which may be de-
scribed as inseparable from the trade,
compulsory insurance has to be effect
ed, one-half of the premium for which
has to be paid by the employer ani the
remainder by the workman. A further
proposal is now made to improve the
sanitary arrangements of workshops,
as well as to bring about increased
safety. In Germany aud Austria simi-
lar enactments are in force. la France
however, useful initiative has been
taken by certain unions, in which are
representatives of all kinds of industry
who have inspectors of their own, and
who form kind of council, at which
full consideration can be given to the
best means of preventing accidents.
Thus, the engineers of one associ alton
have taken, one by one, all machinery
of a dangerous character and entered

adopted for rendering them safe "a fary

Mollie Mcguire Days.
HOW A DRUNKEN FUNERAL PROCESSION
LOST THE CORPSE OUT OF A suRoUp.


Mayor Jones was a resident of
Tamaqua in the days when the Mollie
Mag suires held full sway and mems
lives were worth little in the ewes of
the cut-throats of the hard. coal region.
The Mayors description of the mode
OF conducting funerals in the vicinity
OF Tamaqua is excellent and well worth
listening to. He says that the people
who followed corpse to the grave in
that place usually got as drunk as
lords and it was not an unusual thing
to see crowd of one hundred or two
hundred intoxicated people staggering
along and bowling like demons, while
the corpse, tied in large sheet and
hung on pole, was carried along on
the shoulders of couple of men. On
one occasion, he remembers, a funeral
procession of this character started to
the cemetery and tie gang was So
drunk that it lost the corpse. A little
doctor coming by shortly afterwards
saw the corpse lying in the road and,
whipping up his horse, overlook the
crowd about a mile or more away.
When be told hem they had left the
corpse behind they We're so angry at
him for not bringing it along with him
that they forthwith proceeded to give
him such beating that he was unable
to leave his bed for nearly month af
ter. One day the Mayor volunteered
to play the drum in a procession that
was being held to celebrate st. Pat
rick's Day in the morning. He march
ed through the streets at the head of a
crowd about two miles long and in the
evening, after hard days work, he
was invited to dance in one of the
halls of the town. He accordingly
dressed in his best togsery aud, feeling
proud of his plug hat, felt certain that
he would have good time. Being
rather modest he at first contented him.

He had scarcely taken his place when
he felt hand on the nape of his neck

passing clear through the window and

The Cost of Smoke.
LOSS OF PROPERTY BY FIRE LESS TDAN
THE CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO.

From the American Grocer.
Last year the losses by reported fires
in the United States reached total OF
$120,000,000, or an average monthly
loss Of $10,OOO,OO0 This is regarded
IA an enormous waste and is largely
due TO incendiarism and carelessness.
How to reduce the amount so lost is
matter of constant study. Legislatures,
local Governments, insurance compa-
nies, make regulations and exercise the
greatest care TO prevent fires. And
yet the loss they occasion is SSO0,000
per anDum less than the amount paid
by consumers for cigars and SS6,500,-
consumed in smoke.
Last year tax was paid upon 4,5l0,-
$685. cigars. The average smoker
is content with cigar worth $50 per
thousand, or one that retails TOR FIVE
cents. On that basis there annually
goes up in smoke, SlS0,000,000, or
S15,000,000 every month, or half q
million dollars every day. In addition,
boys waste on cigarettes S6,500,000,
and those who prefer pipe further
sum of $20,000,000
How many smoke? If we deduct
from the total population as nom
smokers all children under Is, consti-
tuting forty per cent. of the total pop
ulatiou of 60,000,000, j. leaves 36,090,-
900, of whom one-half are females,
deducting these gives male population
above the age of 10, of 1S,000,000.
If six out of every ten males above
the age of 15 smoke, il means that
10,S00,000 persons consume 3,510,S9S,-
4SS cigars, or an average per smoker
of 1925 cigars per annum. This is less
than one cigar per day. The average
smoker, however, is not apt to be con-
tented with daily allowance OF one
cigar, demanding at least two. If the
latter basis is the nearer correct, the
army of cigar smokers would be 4,800,-
449, being eight per cent. of the total
population above the age of Is.
Whatever the number of smokers,
it is moderate estimate to place the
cost of smoking to the people of the
United States at $2O5, 100000. If the
OooJ VI CucWiuS tODdCCO ls duutu Ju6
total expenditure for tobacco reaches
$256, 500, 900; that is sum that repre-
sents per capita tax of 1914 per an
mum. If the number of smokers is
4,S09, ,499, the average expense of
smoking is $4,000 each per annum; if
the number is 7,000,000, the cost is
S2s.64 per individual if 10,S00,000 it
falls to $lS IL, sum sufficient to
afford one fve-cent cigar daily and
leave balance of eighty-seven cents
for extras.
What relation the expenditure for
the smoking habit bears to the con-
sumption of few other articles more
or less of luxury is seen by the fol-
lowing exhibit, the figures showing the
estimated cost to the consumer, aver
aging coffee at twenty cents per pound
tea at fifty cents, cocoa and chocolate
at forty cents, sugar at six cents:
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1887-03-25

Sugar is the only article that is uni
versally used, and Is properly regarded
a staple and necessary article of diet.
About fifty-two pounds per capita are
used at a cost of S3.l2. Alcoholic
and malt liquors, tobacco, coffee, tea,
chocolate are non.essentials, or articles
consumed for tine mere qualification of
the appstite. For that pleasure por-
tion of the community pays 81 ,0S6, ,00O,-
600 annually. Not to exceed one fourth
of the total population habitually uses
alcoholic or malt beverages, nor more
than one sixth tobacco. Steadily do
the habits of self-gratification increase,
their growth stimulated by higher
civilization. The more the masses
have the more are the luxuries of life
demanded
